Chapter 46
This time the attack on Jiulong Village was very smooth.
The Tuko in the village drank himself down. Those who were not drunk also stepped on cotton and became soft-footed shrimps. They were not the opponent of the Red Bargain Team.
After the entire battle, only one of the Red Preparatory Team was killed, and five were slightly injured by tables, chairs, benches, but the battle was awesome, killing more than 30 Turkish bandits and capturing nearly 70 Turkish bandits.
At this time, the injured and uninjured Tugu, the family members, and more than 200 people were tied up with ropes and threw them in the middle of the village. More than a dozen Chi Bei stood around watching with torches in one hand, holding spears in the other.
The remaining Chi Bei searched around the mountain village, Li Jiyu's silver cellar.
Everyone turned the village to the sky. Apart from finding some scattered silver and jewelry in Li Jiyu's room, there was only the bag of silver seized by Wang Jingde, which was less than 200 taels of silver.
At this time, Gao Huan was sitting on the tiger-skin seat in Juyi Hall, listening to everyone from Chi Bei team coming to report.
"Young Master, I have found all the places I should look for, so I found this!" Liu Hui presented a book, "I don't know if it's an account book!"
Gao Huan took it and saw that there were three words printed on the cover, but it was the very popular revolutionary novel "Water Margin" among the bandits in the late Ming Dynasty.
Gao Huan took it, put it aside, turned his head to Song Xiance and said, "Military advisor, from tomorrow, I will teach you a new task!"
Song Xiance didn't know what to think about, and was a little distracted. He heard the words and said, "Young Master, just give me instructions."
"Every night, I will give you half an hour to teach Chi Bei's team to read. You don't have to recognize too many words in a day, just ten words!" Gao Huan ordered in a deep voice, even if you don't know Water Margin, you can't tell the difference between the novel and the account book, Chi Bei's cultural level is too poor.
Song Xiance was a little surprised, "Young Master, is this necessary?"
Gao Huan nodded, "It is very necessary! If I want to achieve great things, the fate of the vassal kings and the landlords and old money will fight for a way out for the people. It will inevitably be unwilling to be with the court and the gentry and landlords. At that time, there will be few literati who will be betray their own class and come to join me. Since the old literati are unreliable, we will cultivate our own scholars from now on. Therefore, teaching them to recognize words is very necessary for our future development."
Gao Huan was not on a whim, but found that only Gao Laozhuang had no help from scholars. Just keeping accounts was a problem. When he occupied one county and one government in the future, he would need more civil servants.
Judging from Li Zicheng's situation, Gao Huan will be hostile to the current gentry and literary group for a long time. Before he can't conquer them, it is impossible for any scholar to surrender to him.
In this way, to govern the local area, Gao Huan can only train some literate people and serve as some civil servants. Otherwise, he would have to do it like Li Zicheng, after fighting, he would not care about it, and eat another place, and become a bandit with no future.
Song Xiance took a breath, but Gao Huan's casual idea was convinced.
The bandits have been in trouble for more than ten years, but they have not made any progress. One of the important reasons is that there are no scholars supporting them, and they have formulated long-term plans for them and governed the territory they have built.
Until now, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng still conquered the land, killed all the officials and landlords and gentry, gathered refugees to eat big families, and after eating, they rushed to the next place, causing serious damage to the place, and did not really save the people, but instead displaced more people and became refugees.
Refugees must live by the wealthy family. Naturally, gentry and scholars cannot stand on the side of the bandits, betray their own class, and support them to take the bandits to break their lives.
Gao Huan was able to see this and proposed to cultivate his scholars. This insight surprised Song Xiance. For the first time, he began to think that the small group Gao Laozhuang might be able to accomplish anything.
"I understand!" Song Xiance suddenly bowed to Gao Huan solemnly.
Gao Huan nodded, then looked at Liu Hui and asked, "I have asked about the local gangsters in the mountain village. They can't not know!"
Liu Huida said: "I have been asked a long time ago, but I don't know it. Only Li Jiyu and Shouhou know."
"Where is the skinny monkey?" Gao Huan asked with a frown.
"Die!" Liu Hui said: "When you escape, you let Wang Guzheng slash with one knife!"
Wang Jingde scratched his head, "We don't know, that's the second in command of Jiulong Village!"
Li Pingyuan frowned and said, "Master, can you only have more than 200 taels of silver?"
Gao Huan looked at Liu Hui and asked, "The rich man Liu from Liujiazhuang is not only 200 or 200 families, right?"
Liu Hui shook his head, "That's definitely more than that!"
Gao Huan frowned and said, "Li Jiyu broke Liuzhuang and Tangzhuang, and it was impossible that only two hundred taels would be."
Song Xiance asked: "Who is the only one who says Li Jiyu and Shouhou knows?"
Liu Hui said: "The military advisor Tang Liang of the village!"
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Bring people in!"
Soon, the messy military advisor Tang was held by two men and left in the Juyi Hall.
When Mr. Tang saw Gao Huan, he quickly knelt down and said, "Young Master Gao, I was also tied up to the mountain by the Tu Bandits. I had no choice but to be a military advisor for the Tu Bandits. I also asked the young master to spare my life. I am willing to serve the young master."
Gao Huan walked down from the tiger-skin seat, squatted down and said coldly: "Mr. Tang really doesn't know where Li Jiyu's silver is hidden?"
"Young Master Gao, Li Jiyu is suspicious and cunning. I was tied up to the mountain. I didn't know where the most valuable thing was hidden. Even the wife of the village was not known. How could I, an outsider know about it?" Mr. Tang said in sweat.
"I really don't know!" Gao Huan said.
Military Secretary Tang nodded and said, "I really don't know!"
"Haha~" Gao Huan patted his shoulder and smiled, "If you don't know, forget it! Since you were tied up, follow me in the future! Be a master for me!"
As he said that, Gao Huan helped him up, loosened his ties, and smiled and said, "Brothers have been busy all night, so please trouble Master Tang, help prepare some food again and let the brothers have a meal!"
Master Tang looked moved, "Young Master trusts me so much, I will definitely get things done."
Under the arrangement of Master Tang, the inside and outside of Juyi Hall were cleaned up, and the tables and chairs were placed again, and then the dishes were started. In a short time, the wine and food were prepared.
Of course, Master Tang just told the counterfeit where the things were. He cooked and served food by himself, so as not to be drugged.
This was the wine and food. Gao Huan and others took their seats, but they didn't move their chopsticks. Seeing this, Master Tang hurriedly asked, "Young Master, is it not to your taste? I'll ask someone to remake it!"
Gao Huan looked at him and sneered, making Master Tang feel irritated, "Hmph, when I brought people into the Juyi Hall, you followed Li Jiyu out of the Juyi Hall and ran to the back mountain together. When Li Jiyu ran away alone, you still called for help from him, right?"
When Master Tang heard the words, beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down from his forehead, and he felt like he was watered.
Gao Huan continued to sneer: "I just asked you to prepare meals for your brothers. Where are the things? I see that you are all clear and the arrangements are well organized. Obviously, you have been doing them often before. Li Jiyu can give you food and drink. I don't think you are being coerced by the Turkish gang!"
Before Gao Huan finished speaking, Master Tang knelt on the ground...
